Counts back up!

I picked Jessie up from CNMC that night and she did go back to college the next day. The doctors took Jessie off of her oral chemo med and after a few weeks her counts are back up. One of the nurses was surprised that this was her first  time stopping the medication stating that usually patients stop several times over the course of treatment. I think Jessie's body decided that it had had enough! 
Fast forward a few weeks, Jessie was put back on the medicine with a slightly lower dose. So far so good. She has a bone marrow check coming up next Tuesday which is two days before Thanksgiving so I hope to find out about the expensive test that they did regarding  her metabolizing the chemo. Maybe that will give us some answers. I wil update when we get the bone marrow results back in two weeks.
